I am getting a "phantom" tab in Level 3 Headings in the Table of Contents
(TOC 3). The tab appears at 2.1", and does not appear when you click on
Quote:
modify>format>tabs, but does appear on the line when the Table of Contents
is generated. If you delete the tab manually, by clicking and dragging on

it, it disappears, only to be regenerated when you regenerate the Table of
Contents.

The link may answer the question, but I'm not sure I have the knowledge of

I think it may be one of those bugs that can't be fixed without breaking a
